I'm not sure if that's the right way to go about fixing this bug.
Andreas has already mentioned before [1] that even though the nvidia
kernel module has been renamed, it's also aliased to "nvidia", so
everything should still theoretically work. If it doesn't, changing
the default bumblebee config just papers over the issue.

The blacklist already has "nvidia-current" listed (that was picked up
from Ubuntu).

Vincent
